Special thanks to:Aiisha Ramadan a Lebanese fashion designer who has launched her own clothing brand, AIISHA. She has won prestigious awards such as the Young Designer of the Year 2000 by Swarovski, and the Gr8! Women Achiever Awards 2011. She was also named as one of 30 Most Awesome Women in the Arab World in 2009 by Arabian Woman Magazine. Far from traditional, AIISHA is the epitome of modern design.
